WILLIAMSTOWN THEATRE FESTIVAL PRESENTS SAMMIE AND DAN

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 3 PM
MANTON RESEARCH CENTER, AUDITORIUM

The big finale to Williamstown’s annual Holiday Walk Weekend festivities is a very special Williamstown Theatre Festival production, SAMMIE AND DAN: Singing and Holiday Cheer with Samantha Williams and Dan Rudin!

The show brings a Festival favorite back to Williamstown to celebrate the season. Samantha Williams (Caroline, Or Change and Dear Evan Hansen) dazzled as a guest star in WTF’s summer 2023 cabaret and now she returns to Williamstown with her best pal, Dan Rudin (pianist at MJ and Caroline, Or Change), and a whole act featuring favorite holiday tunes.

This next generation Broadway star is sure to brighten up your Sunday afternoon with classic songs and warm spirits—more delicious and less filling than eggnog!

Free. Advance registration required. Secure tickets or a place on the waitlist through the Williamstown Theatre Festival Box Office at wtfestival.org.

Members get unlimited complimentary admission, invitations to exclusive members-only events, discounted tickets to special events, and so much more!
